11/4

Winless since taking this 12 months ago and only ninth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago, though not ideally placed. Still needs a couple of these to falter.

50/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Had a wind op before a below-form seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 21 days ago so others are preferred.

20/1

150/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs and only sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 66/1) 16 days ago. Difficult ask at these weights.

Forecasts

Alpine Sierra (11/4), Sir Garfield (16/5), John L Sullivan (5/1), Drafted (5/1), Novak (13/2), San Isidro (15/2), Golden Valour (20/1), Havana Rose (50/1), Onthebunny (150/1)

SIR GARFIELD can race off the same mark as when a very good recent C&D second so is fanced to gain a deserved victory at the chief expense of C&D scorer Novak. In-form pair San Isidro and John L Sullivan also need factoring into this open handicap.
